Columbia Restaurant Sand Key - Clearwater (FL)

5 /5 Brenda Foley: Beautiful waterfront views set the perfect backdrop for our evening. The tableside 1905 Salad was a standout fun presentation and absolutely delicious. Our server Jarred was excellent, and we appreciated that Lily, the manager, personally stopped by to check on us and was warm and professional. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Valet available.

5 /5 Landon Bellamy: Decided to take the drive all the way out here instead of the location in Ybor City. And it was totally worth it! This place has a good Castilian vibe and there’s waterfront views here. The service was good, timely, and efficient. I liked how they mixed the 1905 salad in front of us and asked if we were doing anything special. The food here is absolutely delicious! I enjoyed the 1905 Salad, but there’s more: my crusted Mahi Mahi was very enjoyable with the lemon sauce. However, I wished the hot sauce came out quicker. I also really enjoyed the Flan and Key Lime Pie. They were both very sweet. Overall, would absolutely recommend this! All Columbia locations are great.

5 /5 Abby Neufeld Dick: I have been coming to Columbia with my family for years while we vacation on Clearwater Beach. Every visit I am more and more impressed!! The pitcher of Mojitos is a must, and the Huckleberry Martini is also delicious. Would highly recommend the black bean cakes and also the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer. The tomato salad is the best I’ve ever had, and we also love the churros!!! This time, our server Ray took exceptionally great care of us. He was kind, great at what he does, and laughed with us!! And even helped us to bring a special treat back home for our grandma who spent every Tuesday afternoon at the Columbia during her Florida winters. We are always impressed at the Columbia and can’t wait for our next visit!!!

5 /5 Ali Treloar: We had a fantastic experience with the great views, delicious foods, and enjoyable cocktails! Our server shared the history of the restaurant and walked us through the menu. We had stuffed shrimp and the Cuban sampler platter while watching the water. The servings are generous! Wasnt sure about their 1905 salad, but very glad we have it a try - SO GOOD! We enjoyed their guava turnover and some dessert drinks as well. Would recommend reservations, and get there a bit early to figure out parking.

3 /5 Steve Grenier: Cold food served. Granted this was on Thanksgiving, this restaurant is built for large parties and a packed crowd. There is no excuse for serving cold plates. And it wasn’t just 1, all 4 of our orders were served like warm at best. Service was a bit slow. Again, it was a crowded holiday evening but there is no excuse that this restaurant, with the reputation it has in the Tampa area, cannot keep up with a busy night. The food portions were large and the taste was good. Sadly the HOT leftovers were far better than the original offerings. We were really looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving here and ended up leaving very disappointed. Not sure if we’ll try again, probably not, considering all the other Tampa restaurants to choose from.
